Akshay Kumar 'adopts organic fitness regime'

Akshay Kumar has decided to change his fitness regime to bulk up for his latest project.

The actor is currently shooting his first action film since Khiladi 786.

A source told Hindustan Times: "The biggest action sequence of Boss has been reserved for its climax. And for that, Akshay doesn't want to take any chances since he will perform very raw and edgy stunts in the sequence.

"Akshay Kumar has decided to change his fitness regime to bulk up for his latest project.

"He's been swimming extensively in the morning and following a rigorous regimen of hopping, skipping and basic exercises like climbing stairs of a 50-storey building twice a day. Basically, his physique will be like Jackie Chan's."

Kumar confirmed that he was working out for three hours a day.

He said: "I am working extra hard for the climax scene. But everything is being done in an organic way since I don't believe in things such as weight-training or steroids."
